Right, this is driving me insane and the error I'm getting just doesn't make any sense so I'm asking for your help.

I'm trying to compile Pioneer on my little Linux box. This was going well, it was building, running, and I was seeing the graphical corruption that others are reporting on Linux when using the open source ATi/AMD drivers.
Then I updated Pioneer to the latest master, so as to get my Eclipse disabling changes and now I get this:

CXXLD pioneer
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGL
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [pioneer] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/yeti/code/pioneer/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/yeti/code/pioneer/src'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

a quick "locate libgGL" gives me the following:

yeti@Sapphire ~/code/pioneer $ locate libGL

yeti@Sapphire ~/code/pioneer $

Which has a selection of libGL.so files to choose from.

I've tried running "./configure" again and it successfully finds everything, including GL.

So does anyone have any bright ideas how I can get this running again?
It's been a long time, several years in fact, since I did any Linux development, even the Android stuff I've done more recently was on Windows.

Help?

Could be this?

I'm completely unfamiliar with the way this project is structured, never used automake (which it seems to use???) either.
Where, and how, would I even add that as an option?

Posted: **Sat Oct 12, 2013 12:48 pm**

It seems to just use $(GL_LIBS) which assumed that wherever and whatever "GL_LIBS" is is defined and correct.
Anyway that I can check?

Also why does

Code: Select all

./configure

succeed but linking fail to find the same library?

Im having issues myself with the sdl2 libraries so I probably cant be much help but have you tried grabbing the pioneer-thirdparty repo from git, and after doing a make on it do a ./compile --with-thirdparty=<path to pioneer-thirdparty>

I have had to use the thridparty repo lately even though I (thought I) had the assimp repo installed seperatly.

I can't check it by mysefl, because I use a different distribution...

On the ubuntu questions, for a similar problem, they suggest to check if you have all the required *-dev packages installed.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/297938/e ... -with-make

check if you have libgl1-mesa-dev installed

Strange that configure succeeds but the build does not.

First thing to do is to really start from scratch:

Code: Select all

make distclean
./bootstrap
./configure
make

If that still fails, do:

Code: Select all

make V=1

and then post config.log and the final link command and output somewhere that I can look at them.

Well this has been a fun morning, booted the linux box, ran "locate libGL" just to double check everything ... and got a MUCH shorter list than the one I posted :s

Bit odd right? Crucially it no longer had libGL.so or libGL.so.1 in /usr/lib/ which was very odd.
So I did what people suggested and made sure I had all of the mesa-dev packages, then reinstalled them all to make sure.

Still no symlinks to them being created in /usr/lib though.

So I've manually created those links, then run the clean, bootstrap, configure, make you suggested robn and now I'm waiting whilst it churns away compiling.

...and it's working!!! Compiled, linked and running right now :D

Cheers for the help everyone :)
